I need a vacation so bad, I've been fantasizing lately, but I wish I was on a cruise ship or at a Sandals resort right now!

I love me Lucky Charms!
3. Your favorite TV channel/networks
MTV, LMN, Lifetime, Discovery, HGTV,TLC

I would love to be on Sports Illustrated! Did you ever see the swimsuit issues? O Lala!
5. If you could live in a multi-million dollar house would you? (Don't worry about the bills!)
Yes!
6. If you could dis-invent 1 thing or ban it from the world, what would it be?
I might be flamed for this but alcohol...it does too much damage when used irresponsibly
7. What do people do too much of today?
I might get flamed for this as well, but the constant use of cell phones...blows my mind. Unplug people!
8. Do you believe in ghosts/spirits?
In some ways yes
9. Would you be willing to live off "the grid"?
No-way!
10. Do you believe in life on other planets?
I'm sure there is!
1. If you could drop what you are doing right now and do something, or go somewhere where/what would it be? Don't think about details like childcare, lost wages from not being at work etc...
Do something - I'd go to the lake right now, get on a boat, and just have a lake day. Go somewhere - Hop on a plane and fly to Italy. All these Italian vacations everyone is talking about have me itching to go now too!
2. Your favorite junk cereal
Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs and Cinnamon Toast Crunch
3. Your favorite TV channel/networks
I suppose our public broadcasting station and the Food Channel.
4. If you could be on the cover of 1 magazine which one (regardless of details Example: If Your not happy with body etc. who cares-this is for fun!)
Southern Living - me and my perfect house with its incredible garden...if only.
5. If you could live in a multi-million dollar house would you? (Don't worry about the bills!)
Sure, but like @hoffse I don't think I'd want something massive, I just want it to be on a lot of land with all of the top upgrades, a pool, an outdoor oven/eating patio, etc. etc.
6. If you could dis-invent 1 thing or ban it from the world, what would it be?
Nuclear weapons (ban)

Kind of but certainly not completely. I'd be ok with a lot of things, but if I had a choice in it, no.
10. Do you believe in life on other planets?
Sure but maybe not in the way we know life. I think our traditional Hollywood view of aliens is way off base. Other forms of life could be so different that it's possible we may never recognize it.
I finally got my account working again... I wasn't able to log in forever after the password change issues.
This is fun!

Fun!! I'll play...
1. If you could drop what you are doing right now and do something, or go somewhere where/what would it be? Don't think about details like childcare, lost wages from not being at work etc... I would be on the beach somewhere. Somewhere with white sand and activity but not too busy. I'd lay out and swim all day and then H and I go to a nice seafood dinner just steps away from the beach.
2. Your favorite junk cereal. It's been at least a decade since I've had cereal, but I did used to love Fruity Pebbles and Life.
3. Your favorite TV channel/networks. We don't have cable, but on flights I like to watch the crap on Bravo. At home, the Netflix original series are probably my favorite.

1. If you could drop what you are doing right now and do something, or go somewhere where/what would it be? Don't think about details like childcare, lost wages from not being at work etc... Right now I'd be home working on declutter projects in the office and guest room. We had a ton of fun with our friends over the weekend but I didn't get any progress done on my projects.
2. Your favorite junk cereal Not really big on sugary cereal - favorite junk FOOD is Cape Cod potato chips and Helluva Good onion dip.
3. Your favorite TV channel/networks HGTV. It's a terrible addiction that I've been trying to cut back on.
4. If you could be on the cover of 1 magazine which one (regardless of details Example: If Your not happy with body etc. who cares-this is for fun!) The Economist - I'm a nerd. Edit - I also like the Real Simple idea!
5. If you could live in a multi-million dollar house would you? (Don't worry about the bills!) Sure! But I'd probably go for a small, super nice, and perfectly situated house rather than a big mega-mansion.
6. If you could dis-invent 1 thing or ban it from the world, what would it be? Guns. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I freaking hate them.
7. What do people do too much of today? Everything. People need to take more time to just sit and stare into space and dream.
8. Do you believe in ghosts/spirits? Yup. I have a 150 year old house and the front bedroom is totally haunted. Sorry future child that has to sleep there....
9. Would you be willing to live off "the grid"? Eh....some days I would say yes for sure, but other days I love living in a city. Can I have a vacation home off the grid instead?
10. Do you believe in life on other planets? Totally. Seems like an awful waste of space if we're the only ones in the universe.
1. If you could drop what you are doing right now and do something, or go somewhere where/what would it be? Don't think about details like childcare, lost wages from not being at work etc...
I would go hang out with my family...at my brother's pool would be nice today.
2. Your favorite junk cereal
Reeses
3. Your favorite TV channel/networks
abc family comedies are my favorites
4. If you could be on the cover of 1 magazine which one (regardless of details Example: If Your not happy with body etc. who cares-this is for fun!)
The Economist
5. If you could live in a multi-million dollar house would you? (Don't worry about the bills!)
Yes
6. If you could dis-invent 1 thing or ban it from the world, what would it be?
Invasive plants. I spent a day volunteering to cut them down. Apparently the kind I was working on can suck the life out of trees. That or nuisance bugs like termites, bed bugs, stink bugs....
7. What do people do too much of today?
Looking at phones.
8. Do you believe in ghosts/spirits?
A little bit, yes. I believe more in signs from God.
9. Would you be willing to live off "the grid"?
No
10. Do you believe in life on other planets?
Yes, even if only at some basic level
1. If you could drop what you are doing right now and do something, or go somewhere where/what would it be? Don't think about details like childcare, lost wages from not being at work etc...
I almost want to answer this "at home, in bed, taking a nap". But I think that is just the 3:00 afternoon drag talking. Really, I'd like to be gallivanting around Europe.
2. Your favorite junk cereal
Frosted Flakes, but I only eat the Reduced Sugar variety and only on occasion. Still, definitely a junk food..
3. Your favorite TV channel/networks
With my newish cable package, I recently discovered "ID". I think it stands for Investigation Discovery. Or, as my H likes to call it, the "murder porn" channel. Fascinating, real life stories about all kinds of crime. Not for the faint of heart!
Other than that, I typically like the mainstream channels like NBC and ABC.
4. If you could be on the cover of 1 magazine which one (regardless of details Example: If Your not happy with body etc. who cares-this is for fun!)
Fortune or Inc. Equally happy with any of those magazines that feature people who pull themselves up by their boot straps and had a successful business.
5. If you could live in a multi-million dollar house would you? (Don't worry about the bills!)
Big yes on that. Though, as other PPs have said, I'm more about location/amenities as opposed to square footage.
6. If you could dis-invent 1 thing or ban it from the world, what would it be?
Handguns, for sure. Though, with that said, since they do exist, I land more on the side of control rather than banning.
7. What do people do too much of today?
Yet again, I'm reminded why I like everyone on this board, lol. Like so many of you said, I find it insane how much people use their cell phones (or the internet) for socialization. Of course, some of that is fine. Here I am on a forum! But you see it all the time. A group of friends together at a restaurant or coffee house and everyone of them is engrossed in their cell phone instead of interacting with each other.
8. Do you believe in ghosts/spirits?
I lean more toward "no", but I have an open mind about it. Funny enough, my town of NOLA is considered one of the most haunted places in the country.
9. Would you be willing to live off "the grid"?
No way, no how, not ever. I have solar panels on my house, though they don't produce all my electricity. I also have a veggie garden. But that's about the extent.
10. Do you believe in life on other planets?
Definitely! No offense at all to anyone else's views, but I think it's just a bit egotistical (of the human race, in general) to think in the vast wide universe that our planet is the only one with any form of life. Are there advanced intelligent life forms...like a human or even an animal? I certainly think so for the same reason. Have any of them come to Earth? No, I don't think so. But it wouldn't surprise me if they had.
That's crazy! My parents house was built in the 1800's and had a ghost as well but the experiences weren't quite as scary. More or less just catching glimpses of him walking around, you could feel him sitting on the bed in their room and see the imprint on the mattress, he would pace all night in my room (you could hear the floor creaking and feel the air moving), open and close doors, and one time he threw something at my mom when she yelled at me haha! I was the youngest so he tended to be more active around me.
1. If you could drop what you are doing right now and do something, or go somewhere where/what would it be? Don't think about details like childcare, lost wages from not being at work etc...
I would go on another vacation with DH and the girls- probably rent a cottage up in Canada on the lake and spend some of the summer together.
2. Your favorite junk cereal
I loved Lucky charms when I was little (only got to eat it when I slept over a friend's house) but I have a feeling the sugar would hurt my teeth now!
3. Your favorite TV channel/networks
We don't have any cable channels at home, so can I say Netflix? Mildly obsessed with Peaky Blinders right now.
4. If you could be on the cover of 1 magazine which one (regardless of details Example: If Your not happy with body etc. who cares-this is for fun!)
I wouldn't want to be on the cover, but I would love to have my work on Love Patchwork and Quilting.
5. If you could live in a multi-million dollar house would you? (Don't worry about the bills!)
Only if it was a flat in NYC or a beach house in Hawaii
6. If you could dis-invent 1 thing or ban it from the world, what would it be?
semi automatic rifles
7. What do people do too much of today?
Care what others think and not invest in real relationships/family.
8. Do you believe in ghosts/spirits?
Yeah- DH had an encounter when he was little
9. Would you be willing to live off "the grid"?
No- I like camping, but I can't imagine doing it more than a week or 2.
10. Do you believe in life on other planets?
Not aliens or anything, but there must be something on another planet.
